With frosty blue ribbons in luscious textures and finishes, I could call this the Frozen Christmas Wreath, after the popular Disney movie Frozen. However, I think I’ll call it the Christmas Snowball Wreath, or maybe the Blue Christmas, Snowball & Ribbon Wreath. I’m really not sure – do you have suggestions? What I am sure about, however, is that this wreath is gorgeous! Like I said earlier this week with the Christmas Ribbon Pomander, it’s easy to change out the ribbons and use your favorite colors. But with this wreath, I’m all in for the blues!

To make a Blue Christmas, Snowball & Ribbon Wreath

1. Insert and glue toothpicks into the foam balls. You’ll use these as handles while you paint the balls.

2. Paint the balls with sparkle texture paint. Insert toothpicks into a scrap of foam to hold the balls upright while paint dries.

3. Cut one, 8” length of ribbon for the hanger, and cut the remaining ribbons into 4” – 5” lengths. Set aside 4 – 5 lengths of each type of ribbon for Step 5.

Even though all of the ribbons are the same color, mixing up the patterns and textures adds a lot of design interest to the wreath.

4. Add the ribbons to the wreath:

Start with the 1” wide ribbons.

Apply a dab of glue to the wreath. Bring together the ends of a ribbon length, forming a loop. Place the ends on the glue, and push the ribbon ends into the wreath with a skewer, knitting needle, or other pointed tool.

Love the wreaths. The blue ribbon one is really pretty. After this weekend I will see what I can create with my Styrofoam. Love all the great ideas! Have a wonderful weekend. We had about an inch of snow when we woke up….the puppies are having fun out in the white stuff. 🙂 Brrrr
